A court in Munich, Germany has fined ex-German national football team player Jerome Boateng £1.5m after he was found guilty of biting and punching the mother of his twin daughters.
The former Manchester City and Bayern Munich defender, 33, was convicted of assaulting his ex-fiancée Sherin Senler during a Caribbean holiday three years ago but avoided a potential five-year jail term.
Ms Senler told the court on Thursday September 9, during proceedings that Boateng bit her and spat blood in her face, and punched her in the kidney so hard she could not breathe.

Boateng had earlier denied all the allegations made against him as he testified for almost two hours on Thursday.
Senler began dating Boateng in 2007 but the pair endured a rocky relationship together. They broke up in 2011 – the same year twins Soley and Lamia were born and had to only communicate through their lawyers.
